Writer's Block: Killer Queen

I love this band so, so much. Queen are definitely one of my favourite bands evah and so... it's hard to pick my favourite song.

I think their best song is Innuendo but for all its lyrical genius and the intensity of that Spanish guitar, it frightens me!

Radio Gaga was my favourite song as a child and still makes me happy when I hear it.

Days of our Lives is so sad that I cannot.

Somebody to Love makes me intensely happy. Even at Glee, I was all 'raaaargh! It's Somebody to Love!' and super super happy.

However. My favourite is probably Who Wants to Live Forever. I love the gentle quality of Brian May's voice at the beginning, the sad lyrics, that it was used in one of my favourite films growing up and that it's beautiful and sad and profound and Queen at their very best.

Rest in peace, Freddie. There'll never be another like you.

So much love for each of these songs. Let's not forget Show must go on. I used to think those lyrics every time I thought I'd had enough (of anything). Music is so special and Queen definitely had a way with it. Remember this cover?

The Great Pretender

Why do I think he did this sort of close to his death?
